A DIY felt envelope is a great addition to a gift. Very often, when choosing a gift for the hero of the occasion, the choice stops at money. A person knows better what he needs and will be able to buy the necessary thing with the donated funds. But money is a rather faceless gift. They will be wasted, leaving no memory. Therefore, a felt envelope made by yourself, with soul, is a great way to make a monetary gift more heartfelt. The craft is quite simple. In stores you can find different felt for every taste. For a wallet, it is better to choose thick sheets of fabric so that they hold their shape well.

Felt envelope - pattern, sewing diagram

Before starting work, you need to prepare a needle and thread, a bead or button for the fastener, scissors and sheets of thick felt. The envelope can be made plain or multi-colored. The pattern of the product is an elongated rectangle.The size of the figure is determined depending on the desired size of the envelope. A short lesson on how to make a felt gift wallet:

1. We form the product. The lower part bends upward. The material remaining at the top is the envelope lid that will close it.
2. We sew the felt. Seams should be made with a thread of identical or matching color to the main fabric. First, one side is stitched, the thread is secured, and a seam is made along the opposite edge.
3. Top processing. The primary shape of the closing part is straight. Using scissors, you can make it triangular or curly - the master chooses the design himself. A bead or button will be used to close the envelope. Sew it onto the main part. We first check the location of the fastener with the closing part.
4. Cut a loop on the envelope lid. It should be the right size so that the fastener does not fall out, but at the same time fits well through the hole.
5. You can decorate felt with pictures from the same material. Cut out several dollar signs of different colors. Glue them to the front side with a glue stick. The money envelope is ready.

Money is a useful gift that needs to be presented correctly. Let's look at another way to create an envelope for currency. To start working on the product, we will need:

1. Felt of any color to the master's taste.
2. Needle, scissors, thread. We select the color of the threads according to the material. Alternatively, contrasting threads can be used. For example, white seams will look stylish on black material.
3. A few pins, a ruler and a pencil.

The process of making gift wrapping for money consists of the following steps:

• The width and height of the product are measured on paper with a pencil and ruler.Add a centimeter to the seam allowance on the left and right sides, as well as on the bottom. The top edge remains without allowance.
• We bend the bottom edge of the material and secure it with a pin.
• Cut off excess material. We are working on the closing part. Using scissors we give it an original shape.
• We sew a U-shaped seam along the edges. You can bend them to the inside. The main thing is to give the product a neat appearance.
• We bend the closing part and decorate it with decorative elements.
